  • the invention particularly relates to time-shifted pilots multiplexed with uplink data.
  • massive multiple-input multiple-output has been considered for future wireless communication networks.
  • a time division duplex (TDD) system is usually assumed in massive MIMO systems 100 as shown in Fig. 1 with a pilot/training phase in the uplink where the users send orthogonal pilot sequences 101 to the base station (BS), thus enabling the BS to estimate the channel to the users in its cell 1 10.
  • the estimated channels are employed for receive and transmit beamforming in the uplink (UL) 102 and downlink (DL) 103, respectively. Due to limited resources, the same orthogonal pilot sequences 101 (or subspace) are reused in neighboring cells 120, 130.
  • pilot phases 101 in adjacent cells 120, 130 are usually time-aligned as shown in Fig. 1 , when a BS estimates the channel to its users, it actually estimates the channels (interfering channels) to the users in neighboring cells 120, 130 employing the same pilot sequences 101 , resulting in pilot contamination.
  • pilot contamination has been identified as a limiting factor for massive MIMO systems.
  • FDD systems are also considered for massive MIMO. In this case, pilot contamination is still present in the uplink of a massive MIMO FDD system.
  • a basic idea of the invention is to introduce a new scheme for mitigating pilot contamination.
  • This new scheme includes the following items: Shifting the uplink pilots in time with respect to neighboring cells and multiplexing them with uplink data, such that pilot transmission in each cell are not interfered by the pilot transmission in neighboring cells but by the UL data transmission in the adjacent cells; and, in addition by employing an unequal (e.g. optimum) power allocation between the pilot and UL data transmission.
  • pilot contamination arises due to the reuse of pilot sequences in neighboring cells, it actually results from simultaneous UL transmissions in neighbouring or adjacent cells, regardless whether they are pilots or data.
  • shifting the pilots will not mitigate the pilot contamination with an equal power allocation between the pilot and data transmission.
  • the proposed concept exploits however the tradeoff introduced by unequal power allocation between the pilot phase and the UL data transmission phase given an average power constraint at the users.
  • pilot contamination can indeed be mitigated.
